Ford Transit Side Access Rotation Ladder Rack - Curb Side Only | American Van Equipment

Cargo vans are so much more than what meets the eye at first sight. For the uninformed, a cargo van may seem like an oversized vehicle meant to carry stuff, which is not entirely wrong. However, there is more to it. Modern cargo vans provide a practical and convenient solution for commercial use like hopping from one site to another, being stationed at a job site for work, picking up or making food or cargo deliveries, pulling off HVAC/plumbing/electrical contractor jobs, and doubling up as a mobile workshop.

For instance, the Ford Transit van comes equipped with the bare minimum that you would need for commercial use. Depending on the model and variant, they may include features like –

  • Automatic transmission
  • Adjustable bucket seats
  • Tie-down floor brackets in the rear area
  • Reverse assist camera
  • Excellent towing capacity
  • Adequate cargo dimensions in the rear
  • Convenient loading area
  • Rubberized foam pad
  • Power points
  • Blind spot mirrors
  • Fog lamps 

Apart from what is under the hood, what business and fleet owners should really focus on is the usability of the van for their everyday activities. While automobile manufacturers offer limited accessorizing options, that is not the case with aftermarket accessories.

If you are looking to increase the efficiency, productivity, and utilization of space, upfitting your Ford Transit with aftermarket accessories is a great option. From van shelving and racks to bulkhead partitions and ladder racks, there are a plethora of choices available to van owners in the physical and online auto accessories marketplace.

Here’s looking at how certain products from American Van’s portfolio of offerings can really elevate the usability and efficiency of your Ford Transit van.

  • Side Access Rotation Ladder Rack - Curb Side

Let us start at the top of your van. It is essential that your van is equipped with a high-quality ladder rack because hauling, carrying, and unloading heavy ladders is no joke. At American Van, we offer ergonomic racks that feature Prime Design's innovative rotation mechanism which utilizes a hydraulic assisted design. They provide the means to unload your ladders safely and quickly without ever needing to reach for the roof of your Ford Transit to do so. Mounting channels are included with this Ford Transit roof rack.

Equipped with a telescoping handle, you now have the much-needed leverage to swing your ladder into position with a simple twist. The exclusive hydraulic system lowers your ladder gently to the side (curbside) of your van. The ladders are held in place without the need for tie-downs or straps because this Ford Transit roof rack has ridged ladder stops.

With a 500-pound capacity and stainless steel hardware, our side access rotation racks are strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion. Ladders up to 28’ and 120 pounds can be carried on them with ease. In terms of aesthetics, they come with a white-color powder coat finish, making them a great fit for your van.

  • Cargo Area Van Floor Mat

Your loads in the cargo area may shift or move when the vehicle is moving. This could cause undesirable damage to either the cargo or the interior of your van (or both!). What you need is a rubberized mat that not only prevents this from happening but also looks super slick in your Ford Transit’s rear area.

These custom-fit rubber mats are super-easy to install and extremely secure, too. They do not require any cutting or gluing, which means you basically avoid all the mess and stress that come with installing aftermarket floor mats. When you need an additional layer of protection on the floor in the rear area of your Ford Transit van, a cargo area van mat provides exactly that.

Quality floor mats protect your floor from involuntary scratches, dents, spills, and stains. At American Van, we offer durable and thick rubber mats that feature a raised diamond anti-skid surface. Custom-trimmed to fit your vehicle’s cargo area wall to wall), they are designed to prevent falls and are thick enough to absorb any shocks.

  • Partition/Bulkhead

We offer highly durable and robust bulkheads and partitions for Ford Transit vans. Built to fit snugly against your van floor, ceiling, and walls, a bulkhead is a great addition to your vehicle. They help separate the driver’s cabin from the cargo space and prevent your cargo from shifting when the van is in motion. This keeps the driver and passenger safe from potential injuries and protects the vehicle and cargo from damage due to collisions or sudden braking. They are ideal for creating a really professional look.

Apart from our heavy-duty steel partitions, you can also add a few other complimentary accessories to your cargo area. Options include –

  • Spare tire mounting brackets
  • Climate control panels
  • First aid kit holders
  • Triangle reflector kit holders
  • Hard hat holders
  • Three-pocket binder racks
  • Ameri-bin panels

Apart from these amazing accessories or upfitting options will provide your Ford Transit van with a complete makeover.  You can also consider the following options to truly turn your vehicle into a powerful, productive, and fully loaded commercial vehicle –

With the right set of aftermarket accessories, you can successfully convert your Ford Transit van into a fully-functional mobile office.
